>> oh, we had such a great time. >> what did you do? >> not really much. >> sounds like sean, get tony and sean together and asked what they talked about. >> not our emotions or feelings. >> i was just asking for how are things going. >> good, we are doing good. >> didn't get any notes, nothing. >> that's what we have for you on this friday. don't forget to dvr the show. now here is "america reports." >> sandra: thank you, team. alvin bragg's discretion coming under heavy scrutinies as a marine veteran faces second degree charges for a chokehold on the subway. we made it to the end of the week. >> happy early mother's day to you. john roberts in washington. this as "america reports." fox has been told the manhattan d.a.'s office made the decision

to charge the marine vet and will not present the case to a grand jury at this time. his attorneys have said penny could not have foreseen his efforts to subdue neely would be deadly. >> a former of the manhattan d.a. testifies before the house judiciary committee about bragg's decision to charge former president trump criminally for taking hush money from an alleged affair. what you just saw moments ago, laura. >> yeah, it has been a busy day here in lower manhattan. daniel penny was just arraigned in criminal court on the charge of manslaughter in the second degree. we learned about the charges yesterday, in the subway chokehold case that ended with the death of jordan neely. he was released on $100,000 bail moments ago, we want to show you what happened earlier. the former marine surrendered to

the nypd, the charge he is facing could bring him 15 years in prison if convicted. penny, who was handcuffed for his arraignment, was quiet throughout the court proceedings. his attorney argued for release on bail citing good standing with the military, strong family ties on long island anrecord. cell phone video showing him restraining jordan on a subway, medical examiner ruled the death a homicide. and witnesses said neely, a homeless man, impersonated michael jackson, had been arrested multiple times. witnesses said he was yelling and threatening passengers before penny placed him in a chokehold. his attorney spoke briefly with reporters after his client turned himself in. >> he is dealing with the situation, like i said, with the

sort of integrity and honor that is characteristic of who he is, of his honorable service in the united states marine corps. >> the charge was announced yesterday by manhattan district attorney alvin bragg. he has been attacked for his record on crime and criticized for his decision to charge former president donald trump with business fraud. in d.c., members of the house judiciary committee are blasting bragg and a former lead investigator and threatening legal action. mark pomeranz refused to answer the questions about the trump criminal charges. he resigned after bragg said he would not charge trump. republicans want to know if bragg's decision now is politically motivated. the attorney for neely's family called for the charges to be elevated to murder and the next court appearance for penny will be july 17th. back to you.

>> sandra: laura, thank you. john. >> john: sandra, another fox news alert, the white house will give an update on the debt ceiling negotiations after president biden and speaker mccarthy postponed their high stakes meeting set for today. but the already tense discussions may be becoming more urgent after the congressional budget office moved up its deadline as to when the united states will run out of cash. warning, there is a significant risk it will occur in the first two weeks of june. fox team coverage now, bret baier is standing by. but first, chad pergram on capitol hill and chad, is the meeting being postponed actually a good sign here? >> well, john, it depends on who you talk with. the white house said things were going so well the principals could take friday off but it's not all rainbows and roses to house speaker kevin mccarthy. >> all the leaders decide in the best of our interest to let the

staff meet again before we get back together. i don't think there is enough progress for the leaders to get back together. i don't know having certain ones in the room is even productive. >> mccarthy claims the president wants a default, but time is dripping off the clock before an early june deadline. there is concern the markets could get jittery. >> if there's no progress in the debt ceiling talks, are you worried about a default, worried about the markets, mr. speaker? >> the sides postponed the meeting yesterday after the markets closed. republicans accuse democrats of fabricating cuts to veterans and seniors when those programs are funded through september. democrats say tax increases could cover some of the debt. >> it's impossible to have that discussion without talking about revenue. nowhere have they discussed putting revenue on the table, which tells you this is not

really about having a legitimate public policy discussion. >> we are told that president biden and congressional leaders could meet monday or tuesday. the president leaves for japan and australia on wednesday. he is not expected to postpone his trip is talks are going well. >> john: we'll see how that all works out, or doesn't. chad pergram on the hill. thank you, sandra. >> sandra: bret baier now, anchor and executive editor of special report in new york city. right now moody's is assigning a 10% probability to a breach of the debt ceiling, up from 5%. so, a very slim chance it actually happens still, but as mark notes, what one seemed unimaginable seems a threat. >> this is a cliff, and many have talked about this, what it means and could look like, but i do sense the meeting canceled today may be letting staff come

up with the specifics, the nuts and bolts of what this looks like. and that some negotiation is in the works that could be, you know, the beginning of next week or coming days after that. in the meantime, a lot of politics about this side saying you are threatening default. republicans have a little bit of leverage here in that they passed a bill and said where is your bill, you know. we have done it. you just have to negotiate with us on the -- >> counter, indeed. this is just sort of what people are saying about the debt ceiling talks, it's so out there, everybody has an opinion on it. this is a little bit of what we are hearing. >> i'm happy about the republicans and their approach right now, and i think they are willing to talk and negotiate but i don't see that from the president. >> i think both parties, they are equally on board there, but they'll figure it out. >> mccarthy is just stuck in his positions.

>> just a political move and it's very destructive. >> republicans are going to mess it up just -- just to tarnish joe biden's name. >> sandra: interesting reaction there on the street. but you know, this is something people -- we know we have been here before. people assume it's going to get done. but this time is -- this time you can make the case is a little different. when you look at our soaring debt in this country, most people can acknowledge that we have to do something and the political -- the peril in not doing anything is we wrack up the debt. larry kudlow said these are not spending cuts the republicans are seeking, but spending caps. so, why can't there be bipartisan agreement to do that? >> well, they just love spending money, both republicans and democrats in recent years have not really focused on this. three presidential cycles ago a

republican nominee and vice president nominee in front of a debt clock campaigning. but that went out the window when it just seemed like spending was not the issue that people thought it was going to be politically. now i would argue that a candidate who touches this, it is not the third rail because people start to get it. if we are paying as much interest on the national debt as we are for defense spending, which is what's happening now, interest, just interest, eventually it's untenable. >> sandra: the taxpayer and the american family is on the hook, and back to the historic inflation we have been living through, people do get it. i want to ask you about manhattan d.a. alvin bragg and obviously the scrutiny of his prosecution decisions. these are convictions dropping under bragg, and they are plunging. convictions are cratering, felony cases resulting in convictions, they have dropped to 51% from 68% a few years ago. the felony cases that he's

declined to prosecute, that number is obviously growing over 1100, from 800. felony cases downgraded to misdemeanor charges, that's soaring out at 52%. talk about something people are noticing, we are all living through it here in new york city, and then you've got the marine veteran, daniel penny, 24 years old, we saw that video of him leaving the police precinct in handcuffs heading to court to be arraigned on manslaughter charges, that arraignment, bret, took roughly ten minutes. brought into the courtroom in handcuffs, removed at the end of the court proceeding, did not say a word, his next court appearance is july 17th. what do you think happens with all this? >> there is a lot of political pressure. you will aoc and others talk about the case publicly. i think, you know, it's interesting to watch that daniel perry is -- he's out on bond and you have other witnesses on that subway saying that he acted in a way that at the last minute

where they thought it was threatening. we'll see how this plays out. but this guy neely has a history of really violent behavior on the subways, just punched a 67-year-old woman in the face a couple years ago and there were four other incidents. it's interesting the choice here and we'll see how this progresses. >> it's tough. what do you think of new york city when you pay a visit? >> it's a little tougher than i remember. it's a little more -- >> you watch your back a lot, a lot. >> you do, on the sidewalk. >> indeed. great to have you here. you'll be hosting special report. >> and i'm on "gutfeld," i don't know. >> sandra: amazing, can't wait to see that. >> john: it's going to be great. another fox news alert here, two breaking news stories in right now from the southern border, the feds just announcing the death of a teenage migrant in u.s. custody. the 17-year-old arrived without

a parent or guardian, believed to be the first death of a migrant minor in custody in years. the second jaw dropping news just continuing, word that border agents captured close to 68,000 illegal migrants in the past week. that is an all time record. among them, sex offenders and gang members smuggling fentanyl. this of course comes now that title 42 is in the history books. border agents and national guard troops are struggling to keep up, and a federal judge has blocked the white house from implementing a policy that allows for their release without court dates. bill melugin is in brownsville, texas. and what else are we hearing about the death at the border and the circumstances surrounding it? >> john, good afternoon to you. the breaking news, an unaccompanied minor has died in federal custody. confirming to fox a short time ago, a statement they just

provided to us, which says in part, the u.s. department of health and human services is deeply saddened by this tragic loss and our heart goes out to the family with whom we are in touch. as is standard practice for any situation involving the death of a minor in custody, they say they are going to launch an investigation, review all the clinical details of the case, including the inpatient healthcare records and the medical examiner will launch an investigation. they have no further info. i have reached out to border sources. they do not know what happened in this case. more on this as we get it with this developing news, john. in the meantime, take a look at the video we shot last night. we went out to the river at midnight right when title 42 dropped, with four gop senators and the border union. we did not see an expected rush of migrants as soon as title 42 dropped. what we did see, we went down to the area with mass illegal crossings, all sorts of barbed

wire and across the river saw migrant camps, campfire and music playing, but nobody crossed illegally. here is texas senator ted cruz. >> there are 22,000 illegal immigrants on the other side, they have fires going, they have had music going, they are partying because in a couple of hours title 42 is ending and all 22,000 are going to invade this country. and joe biden and kamala harris will be the last mile of the human trafficking network and take them to every city in america. >> and again, that huge rush has not happened yet. we did send a photographer to mexico, there were migrants gathering, but they look across, the text national guard was posted up with rows of razor wire and soldiers there, they have been taken to much more strict posture, physically blocking migrants from entering and it is having an effect. we have seen illegal crossings plummet, we did not see any mass illegal crossings last night.

we saw one swim across the river. we have not seen them since the guard and dps showed up. and the stunning numbers from the border this week, john, ortiz reporting this week alone, almost 68,000 apprehensions, 16,000 known got-aways, 84,000 people that crossed our border illegally this week alone, to put it in perspective, more than a full capacity dallas cowboys football stadium crossing our border in a single week. we'll send it back to you. >> john: and way more than the lows of a month back in 2020. i know you'll keep watching the situation at the border. see if it changes at all in terms of the number of migrants coming over. >> sandra: thank you john, bill. house republicans claiming hunter was one of many bidens to get money from a romanian businessman. now there's evidence he knew about those payments. will the money trail eventually

lead to the president? karl rove standing by to react. plus this. >> what is the granholm plan to increase oil production in america? [laughter] >> oh, that is hilarious. would that i had the magic wand on this. >> john: we all remember the energy secretary laughing off that question on american oil production. she now says she has a plan to refill our strategic petroleum supply. but is her plan the right one? we will ask mr. wonderful, kevin o'leary, just ahead. all across the country, people are working hard to build a better future. so we're hard at work, helping them achieve financial freedom. we're investing for our clients in the projects that power our economy.

>> john: divorce attorneys for hunter biden and his ex-wife kathleen were aware of money coming into his account from a

"romania deal," covering to emails from hunter's abandoned laptop. the new development comes one day after house republicans publicly allege that hunter and others in his family indirectly received money from a wealthy romanian businessman. karl rove is a former deputy white house chief of staff and fox news contributor. so, kathleen says she did not know anything about this but her divorce attorney, rebecca sullivan, certainly did. she wrote an email to hunter's lawyer saying "there's no reason to continue to delay providing us the t.d. account statements and all expenses since the end of the last statement. it is more than fair to ask hunter immediately to provide kathleen with half of the $120,000 and immediate disclosure with respent to his t.d. account." that would be money from the romanian deal james comer talked about seemed to give credence

what congressman comer was telling us on wednesday. >> well, look, i'm mystified why we don't understand that we have a lot of credence to begin with. one of the other emails revealed here was from hunter biden's business partner to him saying hunter biden income from ukraine and romania in 2016 alone was $1,295,000. now, let's put that in perspective. he goes on the board of a corrupt ukrainian natural gas company, barisma in may of 2014. his father is the vice president of the united states and in charge of encouraging ukraine to crack down on corruption, and he then gets in bed with a romanian bad guy, a bad oligarch who is looking for protection. i spent some time in central europe, eastern europe, and if you got in trouble with the central government or thought you were going to get in trouble you hired an american. so while his father is vice president of the united states, they hire hunter biden who has no experience in corporate governance, no experience in

ukraine, no experience in the energy business, and is for one reason and one reason only, they hire him and the bag man for the secretary of state and say kyiv, don't screw with us because we have the vice president of the united states son and the bag man friends of the sent of state of the united states, don't screw with us and that's what this is all. this stinks and $10 million flowed into the pockets of hunter biden and joe biden's two brothers for reasons we don't know except that they were the associates, they were the family members of the sitting vice president of the united states. it stinks. >> john: so it stinks and the way you laid it out, there's a lot of smoke, the way james comer laid it out, a lot of smoke. but there is still, karl, no direct link to president biden and that is the key here. >> well, look, there's no evidence he accepted money. but here's the deal. the question that ought to be posed to the president of the united states.

did you know your son was going on the board of barisma, i think he was apprised by other members of the white house it was a problem. and evidence of that. were you aware he went on the board and when you found out about it did you think it was a problem. because remember, he is in charge of anti-corruption, encouraging the ukrainians to engage in anti-corruption efforts and when he goes over there, in 2015, the "new york times" and others quote ukrainian ngos complaining about the fact his son is on the board of barisma. unless he didn't read "new york times" or washington post, he has to know it. there's no reason to hire hunter biden except he was the son of the vice president of the united states, and it stinks. and the president has escaped questions about it. >> john: i don't know if he's

ever been asked the question specifically in that way, but peter doocy famously asked him what he knew about hunter's business dealings and he said i've never spoken to him about it. as you point out, he would have to be locked in a closet or basement which he was to avoid news bit. >> not in 2015, he was not yet in the basement in 2015. >> john: to the best of our knowledge, anyway. i imagine he went in the situation room a few times, which is in the basement. political impact of all of this, washington post poll spells out potential disaster for president biden. his approval rating is 36%. and dig deeper, democrat leaning adults, 36% nominate biden, someone else, 58%. democrats evenly at 47. democrat leading independents, 17% would nominate biden, a full

77% say something else. as this brush fire continues to smolder and threatens to break out in full froth, what's the political effect? >> i hate to base it on one poll alone, i won't. one of a number of polls show democrats would prefer the president of the united states not run again. they know it's a problem. he's 82 and suffering. the idea that at 86 he is going to be better if he won a second term is laughable. and so i think a lot of democrats are looking at this today and saying we feel some loyalty to uncle joe, for god sake please don't run again and good for the country and good for the democratic party if he did step aside. he campaigned as a transitional figure and instead being transitional figure he wants to dominate the national stage for eight years when he's clearly not up for the job. better for the democrats if he stepped to the side. >> karl rove, never in the basement, always out there in full public view, thanks very much, good to talk to you.

have a great weekend. >> thank you, john. you, too. >> sandra: we want to alert our viewers to this brand-new video. it is coming into us live right now on another heartbreaking scene at the border as title 42 officially ends. migrants are seen here, we have been watching this for a few minutes now, there you have migrants handing their cell phones through the border fence. cell phones obviously are drained as they made their journey and they are desperately trying to charge those devices as they make this attempt to get across the border and into the country. john, just a sign of obvious desperation and struggle. and those are live images just into our newsroom right now. >> john: i expect that some of these people i wouldn't think all of them, but some people are trying to use the cbp app to get an appointment for an interview

so that they can claim asylum status, and as we know, lots of reports that that app has been glitchy, people get frustrated that they can't make an appointment, that's part of the reason why they cross the border illegally. i'm surprised and i guess a lot of people are relieved that we didn't see the mass migration, the mass run for the border last night that a lot of people were expecting when title 42 came off. but not to say it won't happen in the future. >> sandra: 10,000 in a day, we have had more than that for single days happening this week alone leading up to the lifting of 42, you are just talking about a migrant surge at the border, looks like press is there on side as these migrants try to get the cell phones through the fence to get a charge. more live pictures coming in as this, you know, obvious chaotic situation continues at the southern border and go back to secretary mayorkas this time yesterday standing in the white

house press briefing room saying they have been preparing two years for this, thrown every resource preparing for this moment and john, this is what that looks like. scenes and images emerging of their preparation. >> john: yeah, it leaves a lot of questions as to what have they really been doing for the last two years if we see scenes like this along the border. could there be a major breakthrough in treating parkinson's disease? actor michael j. fox's foundation appears to think so. our dr. marc siegel is here to explain. >> sandra: climate czar john kerry finding another group to blame for change. which group of americans the multi-millionaire is now targeting. mr. wonderful, kevin o'leary will join us. >> agriculture is suffering from the impacts of the climate crisis and i refuse to call it climate change anymore.

it's not change. it's a crisis.

>> sandra: john kerry appears to have found his latest target in his green energy crusade, going after american farmers. listen. >> a lot of people have no clue that agriculture contributes about 33% of all the emissions of the world. emissions from the food system alone are projected to cause another half a degree of warming. we can't get to net 0. we don't get this job done unless agriculture is front and center as part of the solution. >> sandra: kevin o'leary, you always have an interesting take on things. kevin, welcome to you. what do you think of them going after our agriculture business in america, our farmers? >> let's start with the numbers, numbers guy.

33% is not factual. the number is debated globally, it's more like 10 or 11%. so there is that issue to deal with. but there's a far more important issue, a lot of the land that farmers own and farm and provide the essential food which is so critical just to have prosperity in any nation, domestically and an emerging carbon credit market. they will be trading the carb credits to get to neutrality. so i'm not sure what's pursued is a very good strategy. one from the point the farmers could actually help us achieve neutrality, but politically prior to an election just months away this is political suicide. the farmer base right now is not very supportive of the president and i think most people know that. and so usually i focus on policy. but my guess here is somebody in the white house is going to rein

in john kerry and say not right now, my friend. this is not the issue we are going to take on right now going into an election. we need some percentage of america's rural economy and the people that own it and provide us food to be on board with our agenda. and attacking them with numbers that they don't even agree with, not a good policy strategy, not a good political strategy. i think this goes absolutely nowhere. >> sandra: the only thing i might change around on what you said, it's not so much the farmers are supportive of the biden administration, they feel this biden administration has not been supportive of them. and that's where that sentiment, where the feeling from the farmers come from. and you wonder, where do they end here, going after the farmers, the power plants, the cars, gas stoves, the dishwashers. i mean -- what's safe anymore, kevin? >> well you know, i do a lot of business in rural america, it's a very important place, south

dakota, north dakota, montana, wyoming. this is the bread basket of america. these are the people that supply essentials to us, not just food but energy. and we need a policy that's very supportive of not just in time food supplies, we just went through a pandemic. we need in case food supplies, just in case energy. we have to fill up the reserves. this seems a little off message to me. i mean, it -- it doesn't -- i look at when policy is in sync with politics you get results. this is out of sync with everything. this is a bad strategy right now, and i do not, and nor does anybody else that pays taxes, want to see crisis in food supplies. we are already in a critical condition with inflation. i can't imagine -- i bet if he could walk this back and erase this tape he would do it. >> sandra: i can't imagine a time people are paying so much more for basics like eggs and milk and bread that they are going to -- that this is going

to be very popular to go after our agricultural supply in america. i want to ask you about our energy supply and this is a statement from jen granholm, our energy secretary under the biden administration on the spr, which are our emergency reserves, listen. >> and that congressionally mandated sale of 26 million barrels will be completed by june, and at that point where we will flip the switch and then seek to purchase. >> sandra: she told lawmakers on thursday that her department could start repurchasing oil for the strategic petroleum reserve after completing this congressionally mandated sale next month. you know, one thing i do remind people was the senate was a hard no on president trump when he wanted to refill the spr at $24 a barrel. we are more than twice that right now. now they want to refill those reserves. what message is she sending, by the way, with this?

>> confusion, a message of confusion. skepticism, not reflected in the overall market. they have been repurchasing for quite a while now and it's crucial we do it b you i warn everybody. just filling up the reserves with oil does not solve our energy problems. yes, it's important. yes, we must do it. but we have to take that oil and refine it into gasoline and run the economy. the words independent and security are so important to every sector of the american economy and yet when we apply it to emergency it seems to become political. i don't get it. we need to build at least six new refineries, on my investment agenda right now, i'm looking at states like north dakota, west virginia and others that actually have mandates and permits. not massive refineries, but 2 to $4 billion projects just so that we can have the gasoline and diesel and jet fuel we need when

we need it. but it's not enough just to fill up the reserves. we do not have enough refineries. the last one we built, louisiana, 1977, old technology. time to get off our duffs and this is bipartisan, and do what the chinese are doing. they are building $14 billion refineries. they are making sure they never have an energy problem and saw what happened in europe, we are watching it too. we have got to not just solve the reserves, we have to solve for actually refining what we need for energy. 100%. we have to get this done in the next 36 months. >> sandra: it is still painful prices when it comes to gas, the average price of a gallon of gasoline, 3.54 a gallon. much higher than when the president took office and we'll see what happens next with all this. kevin, great to have you here today, thank you. john. >> john: sandra, potential breakthrough in the treatment of parkinson's disease. it comes as actor and philanthropist michael j. fox stars in a new documentary

putting a spotlight on his long battle with the disease. here to tell us about the potential breakthrough is dr. marc siegel, professor of medicine at nyu. >> it's about to change dramatically, with a simple protein test. this on the same day a new documentary is released about the couragegous life of one of the most famous sufferers of parkinson's, michael j. fox. >> an this has changed our ability to define and diagnose parkinson's. >> it causes involuntary or uncontrolled movements. at age 29, michael j. fox at the height of his stardom was given the sobering diagnosis. >> incurable. you lose, you lose this game.

>> the documentary tells his story in the fight against the dreaded disease. >> i find it extremely moving, no pun intended to be here today. >> the foundation mission to search for early diagnosis, better treatments and eventually a cure. >> he has parkinson's disease but it does not define him. >> the last huge research breakthrough regarding the dopamine system in the 1990s. now a new biomarker may tell if you might one day contract parkinson's. >> tool to identify individuals who are likely going to develop symptoms before they develop symptoms at all. >> can this protein leads to a treatment. >> that's the dream. >> dr. merrick told me he expects, john, this to be a blood test that i can order from my office some time in the next year with linked personalized treatments to follow that could be used before a patient gets sick. a game changing step towards

making the back to the future star's dream a reality. john. >> john: first news of a potential news for pancreatic cancer and now this, it's a good week in medicine. >> sandra: you are looking live at san ysidro, california, at the area near the border wall is starting to look like a refugee camp there. migrants desperately waiting to get into the united states but are being shut out and john, just one of the scenes of so many that we have seen in recent days, weeks, months leading up to the title 42 being lifted as it now has. and this is a situation that is becoming far too common and that we are seeing far too many places right now. >> john: yeah. you know, this is the mass of humanity that wants to get into the united states and biden policy over the last two years has allowed 5 million people to cross the border. so, if you are somebody who is living in a country with a poor

economy that maybe you are living with the threat of drug gangs or other violence, and you say i'm looking at the united states as a big beacon of hope, and the border for all intents and purposes, 5 million people crossing in the last two years is open, they are going to take the chance, particularly with the encouragement of the cartels. >> sandra: i just want to get this in here. bill melugin brought it to us at the top of the hour, reporting that hhs has confirmed the department of health and human services deeply saddened by the tragic loss of a child in u.s. custody at the border, a migrant child in u.s. custody. they are saddened by the tragic loss, heart goes out to the family, they are in touch with that family. just, jacqui heinrich is pulling up back in 2019 when joe biden under president trump said over the past year, acknowledged six children had died in u.s. custody at the border. then president biden said it was

unacceptable. it's not who we are, silence is complicity. we must speak out. guarantee everybody is treated with dignity. that has now happened on his watch, a child has now been confirmed dead in u.s. custody per hhs, a short time ago, john. >> john: not a lot we know about the case, whether the child was sick before they came to the united states or whether they gt sick after they arrived here. we got to move on. house judiciary chairman jim jordan is talking about new testimony on a letter dismissing hunter biden's abandoned laptop as russian disinformation. you remember that one well. president biden talked about it at that october debate in 2020. jordan telling fox news that obama era cia director john brennan confirmed the letter was "all political" during an appearance before the house panel yesterday. dan hoffman, former cia chief

station and fox news contributor. >> sat for a four-hour interview and confirmed it was all political. we expect public servants not to use their title to influence an election and so political when it was all done. >> we have not seen a transcript of the interview with the house judiciary and brennan yesterday so don't know the veracity of what he is claiming, but we have our own process here, you received an email and the letter asking you to sign it. so how would you characterize it? >> oh, it was definitely a political errand, no question about that. but it was more a political errand than i realized at the time, i did not know michael morell had been in touch with antony blinken about the laptop and had we been advised in the letter, then maybe fewer would have signed it. for me it didn't make a

difference, i didn't sign it but there's no question it was a political errand and michael withhold that information. >> john: if had been better prepared i would have had the sound bite from antony blinken and he said i never spoke to mike morell. >> you have to ask michael that question whether he took the discussion about blinken meaning if he wrote the letter he would be in the good graces of the campaign and a senior position in the administration. those are all questions that only michael can answer, whether he wanted to be director of cia or the director of national intelligence. maybe he thought there was a quid pro quo, but those are questions only he can answer. >> john: another charge jordan is levelling, that people at the cia either facilitated or expedited the release and circulation of the letter. we do know that it was submitted to the prepublication

classification review board at the cia and done on an expedited basis. is that unusual? >> i've never asked for that and i have submitted countless columns to the prb for their review. >> you've never asked for it to be expedited. >> no, i never have. they are busy and i'm not about to put myself in front of others. but their only responsibility is to ensure there is no classified, and michael morell did not tell them, assume he did not tell them it needed to be expedited, they may have felt like they needed to do that as someone who served as acting director and did it, and did it quickly to have it out there in advance of the debate. >> would the review board say wow, this looks like a political document, i'm not sure we should vet this and approve it for publication. >> no, their only responsibility is to determine whether there is

classified and if there is, they'll tell you whatever you wrote needs not to be included in whatever you are writing for public readership, the content otherwise does not matter to them. >> john: but you say this is a purely political document. >> yes. >> john: love your analysis, why you were so great at the ci, a. >> sandra: kansas city high school teacher goes on record saying her school curriculum pushes a woke ideology and no longer academically focused. what some students say should happen to her announcement>> john: and daniel penny facing charges. will ordinary citizens need to start protecting themselves? nicole parker with thoughts on

are calling for a teacher to be fired. they are angry over her criticism of the curriculum. what are they accusing the teacher of? >> they say that her comments are hurtful, they are calling her racist, but she disagrees. this long time english teacher says the school district is no longer academically focused and slamming the district's mandatory diversity training. the shawnee mission north high school teacher said there is repeated white shaming and a preoccupation with white people as the oppressor, including field trips with racism, and it's so condescending that many minorities and other staff members have stopped attending. sullivan also shared her opinion on fox business. >> the divisiveness of the dei message is prompting just a culture of contempt in the building that is intolerable for many of us who work there and

have worked there for a long time. >> again, some of the students, they took the streets, protestors. some are calling sullivan racist, and they say she will not talk to the transgender students with their pronouns. some students walked out in protest over the comments. >> it's not acceptable that she's still and she can post all that stuff on the internet and that's ok. >> some counter protestors also took to the streets in support of sullivan, though district officials tell fox business her online article misrepresents the work they are doing around diversity, equity and conclusion. she still has her job. >> john: karine jean-pierre at the briefing, she was talking about the debt ceiling, see what she's on to now. >> thank you for the question. it is sad news, deeply saddening to hear and we are certainly

aware of the tragic loss and our hearts go out to the family and it is, as i just mentioned, being a mother and celebrating mother's day on sunday, it is very devastating news. there is a medical investigation that was opened on may ten and so i don't want to get ahead of that. we have to let the investigation go through, so any specific questions certainly i would have to refer you to hhs. i have not spoken to the president, i can say there is a medical investigation open on may 10th and i think i'm getting the sign for the pool. if the pool wants to -- they should exit this way to the left. >> the president try t reach out to the family? >> i don't is anything to preview at this time. obviously we are saddened, very saddened by this loss and by the news, and just don't have anything to share about outreach from the president on this.

>> just a bit more on the timeline of the debt ceiling. it's may 12, janet yellen has said default could happen as soon as june 1st. other forecastersrs backing up early june. what is the drop dead date the white house and congress need to reach a deal that a bill gets to the president's desk to avoid default. >> look, this should have happened a while ago. this is a manufactured crisis as the president has said, you just heard from the mayor who was just here at the podium, it should have been taken by congress as their constitutional duty a while back. this is not a normal place for us to be to have -- to have house republicans hold our economy hostage. that is not a -- that is not the norm. the regular order as i just stated when zeke was asking, we are supposed to have a conversation about the budget, conversation about appropriations, not here at this

moment we are waiting for congress to do something that was done 78 times since 1960. >> but we are here in this moment. what is the level of urgency. >> there is a lot of urgency, obviously. a lot of urgency. we are talking about potentially millions of jobs being threatened because of what house republicans are doing. we are talking about potential devastation to our retirement accounts for american families. this is incredibly important point we are in. that's why the president has used his bully pulpit since february saying congress needs to act, congress needs to move forward, congress needs to do their constitutional duty so we are going to continue to do that. i just said, three of the four that met with the president on tuesday said that the vote should be off the table. so we are all in the same place. it's the speaker that needs to really answer this question. >> quick follow-up, how worried are you as we get closer to that date there will be threats to the economy, you saw back in

2011, just getting close to the date resulted -- >> we are all worried. very worried. default could, 8 million jobs, cause a recession, devastate retirement accounts, increase unemployment by 5%, increase costs for families, halt social security, medicare, veteran care and all other government payments. those are the things that could happen if this threat that house republicans have put forth moves forward. i mean, yes, we are very concerned about this. >> you are outlining the i am pokts of a -- the impacts of potential default. >> we are hoping it does not get do that, we have been very vocal, the president very clear, that's why he had the meeting on tuesday to be straightforward and frank, you know this president is not afraid to be really honest and that's why he went to new york to speak directly to the american people, to let them know what's at

stake. so we hope that this is not going to happen, we hope the speaker agrees with the other three leaders in congress and take default off the table. >> the president has said that he's likely going on this foreign trip but it's a possibility he would stay behind. what would trigger that decision? >> all i can say right now, he's expecting to go. i can say that for sure in this moment that he's expecting to go. >> title 42 quickly, the president's answered questions about title 42 but have not seen him hold a formal event to talk about this. he had the meeting with blinken and mayorkas and austin behind closed doors. why isn't the president speaking about title 42 and the expectations. >> the president took more than 40 questions this week alone, he took your questions twice this week and answered many of the on
